Where was her outrage then?
Didn't hear much about slavery, the civil rights movement, or any of the other movements where voters were disenfranchised UNTIL it now affects old Hillary?
Didn't hear her voice of opposition to not counting the votes in 2000.
This woman is beyond dispicable at this point, someone who agreed to not counting the votes of Michigan and Florida because they broke the rules, at the time was all for it when she assumed wrongly that she would be the nominee.
Would she have been screaming at anybody who would listen about how unfair the system that she supported and now wants to overturn is so unfair if it were on the other foot? These people who are carrying Hillary's water are not intellectually honest accusing Obama basically of running a competent, energized, controlled campaign. I mean we just can't have that, can we? Because she took for granted her "place" her supporters are now screaming sexism and anything else they can throw they hope might stick.
I have never supported Hillary because I knew that she was a calculating phony even as others around me thought she was wonderful. Many of their opinions have changed as they have seen the real Hillary emerge, using that old fall back that many white folks use when confronted with a Black person who is playing on a level field and exceeds them--but, but, but, I'M WHITE!!!
It never fails and many of her Black supporters are now in a state of shock. My question: Why are you surprised?
While he stressed that he continues to support Clinton and will do so until "she makes a different determination," Paterson, a superdelegate, said he doesn't believe the DNC should change the rules after the fact on Florida and Michigan and added that he's not buying her claims about leading the popular vote if the ballots cast in those states were counted
Paterson Sees 'Desperation' By Clinton, Disagrees On Florida And Michigan
Gov. David Paterson, who is right now being interviewed by WAMC's Alan Chartock and taking calls from listeners on "Vox Pop," just disagreed sharply with his presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, on her last-ditch efforts to seat the Florida and Michigan delegations.
While he stressed that he continues to support Clinton and will do so until "she makes a different determination," Paterson, a superdelegate, said he doesn't believe the DNC should change the rules after the fact on Florida and Michigan and added that he's not buying her claims about leading the popular vote if the ballots cast in those states were counted.
"I would say at this point we're starting to see a little desperation on the part of the woman who I support and I'll support until whatever time she makes a different determination," Paterson said, adding: "I thought she was the best candidate and I thought she had the best chance of winning."
Paterson, who is a DNC committee member and was present at the meeting when a vote was taken to penalize Florida and Michigan for moving their respective primaries ahead of the traditional starting contests in New Hampshire and Iowa, said he thought that decision was "a little unfair" and he "didn't agree with it at the time."
But he also noted "nobody was screaming" after that decision was made, although some people were unhappy with it, adding:
"There was a process. I thought at the time everybody agreed to it. I didn't hear any objections from the candidates...So I would think the Democratic National Committee would leave it where it is."
On Clinton's claims regarding the popular vote and likening the fight to set the Florida and Michigan delegates to the civil rights movement, Paterson said:
"You have to rule out the undecideds in Michigan. You have to assume she won 100 percent to nothing in Michigan. I don't think anybody in their right mind would do that, nor would they see it as a civil rights issue."
Paterson's comments came in response to the first question posed to him by a caller named "Casey," who sounded like a supporter of Barack Obama. She asked Paterson whether he would switch his support to Obama since his Oregon win and, if not, if he would "defend" Clinton's argument on Florida and Michigan.
1. What's in the undeclared 18 million?
2. What's in the Ron Burkle Partnership
3. Ante up the donor list to the library
4. Ante up the donor list to the foundation

Vetted my Black Behind.
There's enough skeletons in these 5 questions to fill a cemetary.
And, I'm with you, CPL.
I'll blame her forever, and will never ever vote for her. And will actively campaign against her on any level possible.

And, don't forget that the Clintons have a lot of push back to Dean because he refuses to tilt the battle their way. In fact, they fought his nomination because he's not from their crowd.
